I'm Older Than You Think
According to Gothamist, a new study by the Rand Corporation says suburban sprawl is bad for your health. FAB mentioned earlier that Atlanta is bad for your skinand suffers from a serious lack of sidewalks and other symptoms of chronic drive-thru culture, but apparently "the findings suggest that an adult who lives in a more sprawling city such as Atlanta will have a health profile similar to someone four years older — but otherwise similar — who lives in a more compact city such as Seattle, according to researchers." I guess this makes it official: I'm gonna die four years earlier if I stay here. I wonder if this also means I'm more mature.
